Imperial Gray vs Peerage

Both from Benjamin Moore's palette. Imperial Gray reads as green-grey, while Peerage reads as pink-purple — two distinct hue families, not close cousins. Imperial Gray (LRV 47) reflects noticeably more light than Peerage (LRV 7), a difference of 40 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Imperial Gray runs green while Peerage is decidedly purple, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. With a ΔE of 51.1, the contrast is hard to miss. These aren't variations on a theme — they're two different answers to the same question.
